Author `ai-tools/agents/*.yaml` for the target project. Always emits the foundation trio (`implementer`, `reviewer`, `fixer`); adds stack-specific specialists (e.g. `deploy-author` for Medplum, `migration-author` for Django) when the inventory from [vinta-analyze-codebase](../vinta-analyze-codebase/SKILL.md) matches a stack template under [bootstrap-ai-tools/resources/stacks/](../vinta-bootstrap-ai-tools/resources/stacks/). Each YAML follows the schema documented in `ai-tools/agents/README.md`…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Derive sub-agents

Author the canonical YAML sources for the target project's sub-agents. Setup script reads these later and emits per-vendor variants (Claude `.md`, Cursor `.md`, Copilot `.agent.md`, Codex `.toml`).

## Output

`ai-tools/agents/<name>.yaml` — one per sub-agent. Plus `ai-tools/agents/README.md` (schema doc) if not already present (copy from the bootstrap-defining repo).

## Inputs

1. Inventory from [vinta-analyze-codebase](../vinta-analyze-codebase/SKILL.md), specifically `existing_ai_artifacts.agents` — every sub-agent file already in the repo with its name, description, classification (`foundation-shape` / `stack-specialist` / `project-custom`).
2. AGENTS.md content from [vinta-write-agents-md](../vinta-write-agents-md/SKILL.md) (so agent prompts can reference real conventions).
3. Step 0 interview decisions from [vinta-bootstrap-ai-tools](../vinta-bootstrap-ai-tools/SKILL.md) — including the [Existing AI artifacts](../vinta-bootstrap-ai-tools/SKILL.md#e-existing-ai-artifacts-per-artifact-disposition) **per-agent disposition** (migrate / keep / drop / replace).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vintasoftware/vinta-ai-workflows/vinta-derive-subagents@sha256:e3b81437bccbb4ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.b66091f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
